answer is C. CONCISE AND PARALLEL
ERRORS IN OTHERS-
A=MISPLACED MODIFIER{When working with overseas clients-SHOULD MODIFY MANAGERS.
B-AS IN "A"
D-THEM IS AMBIGUOUS AND {an understanding of cultural norms } IS nt parallel to next part.
E= huh , changes the meaning.
DID U NOTICE HERE THE CONSTRUCTION- PREPOSITON+NOUN+MODIFIER,but as per spidey noteS THIS CONSTRUCTION IS WRONG IN THE GMAT.
PLZ CONFIRM IS IT OK TO USE CONSTRUCTION LIKE THIS prep+noun phrase as the subject of the sentence
thanks,
ansh

Hi pims,

This SC comes down to Modification and Parallelism rules:

1) Modification - The original prompt begins with the phrase "When working with overseas clients,….." This is a descriptive phrase that describes "global managers"; according to modification rules, "global managers" should come next (right after that comma). None of the answers are written that way. Answers A and B place an incorrect phrase after the comma, so they can both be eliminated.

2) Parallelism - The sentence describes 2 things that matter to global managers. These 2 things must be written in "parallel format" and use a proper 2-part phrase. Answer D states "an understanding….is at least as important to THEM as THEY grasp", which is not parallel. Answer E states "an understanding….to be equally important as…." which is not a proper 2-part phrase. Answer C states "an understanding….is at least as important as….grasping…issues." This IS parallel and uses a proper 2-part phrase.

Final Answer: C
